OK. I'm curious, because I did leave a hose in the Starsan bucket. What gets the tacky sheen off of the plastic hoses that gets left in StarSan solution too long? Since StarSan is a no-rinse sanitizer, is there any harm in continuing to use such a hose?

Apparently "TSP substitute" is a description that applies to different compounds, not a brand or trade name for a specific compound. I found this TSP substitute from DAP (not the yeast nutrient) that is listed as being 45% - 90% sodium carbonate (washing soda). That's a pretty liberal spread of percentage of content! Note that it is listed as being incompatable with strong bases and oxidizing agents. It is a white powder.

I would GUESS that the tacky sheen is not star san but plastic that has had it's molecular structure changed by star san. but I could be wrong. I am not a chemist nor do I play one on TV

It's a component of the starsan that comes out of solution, I think it is the surfactant.
